Migräne sichtbar machen (Making migraines visible)

"Migräne sichtbar machen" is an art-based medical coloring and activity book for people living with migraine.

It combines creative expression, reflection, and accessible medical information into a user-friendly tool for everyday life with chronic pain.

The book bridges the gap between art, science communication, and self-help. It is neither a traditional coloring book nor a medical guide, but rather an open format that supports those affected in making migraine visible and reflecting on their own experiences.

The exercises range from simple doodles during mild attacks to visual pain scales and reflection and learning activities on neurobiology, triggers, and self-care. The focus is not on performance or "correct" drawing, but on perception, expression, and making individual experiences visible.

The result is a book that combines medical knowledge with artistic practice and opens up new ways to talk about migraine - with oneself, with loved ones, or in a medical context.

The book was created in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Dagny Holle-Lee is currently looking for a publisher.
